it's just pressure or the feeling of it. Most of the custom music i make when i edit, i don't actually listen to it all the way. It's more of like a demo track to entertain people. Very few songs are actually tolerable to listen to as most will leave you with headaches, discomfort, etc... Now, back to your question, after playing around with tons of songs over the weekend, i actually did have to "up the bar" some on the frequency range because some songs sounded... i guess nasty i should say. I'm currently focusing in the low 20hz range right now as it's more appealing.

ok, then if u know, explain how it is safe and\or is a great performer? Even if the wire wouldnt catch fire over a period of time, wouldnt there be a noticeable voltage drop, and by noticeable i mean almost a whole volt?

have u tried porting just 2 of those 12s.... You be surprised how much more efficient ported is than sealed.

ok thanks

That's not what i am inquiring. When the fuse pops, the line is broken. When current is still being drawn, at some point, some split second time, the amp's input terminals will suffer from a very low voltage situation due to no power present. Pretty much the same way as blasting the stereo then just turning the car off immediately. Low voltage protection on amps doesn't necessarily mean that it can never get damaged from low voltage. I've never seen anyone talk about this and am curious.

In testing for competition, MECA enforces fuse sizes for specific divisions in your class. In testing, if you are trying to pull 2-3x the fuse rating of your inline fuses.. and they keep popping, can that damage the amp? I haven't started yet but i was thinking the amps would be susceptible to low voltage conditions at high volume when the fuses pop and could eventually cause damage, maybe immediately. Is this true?

You want to see a glimpse of real-time gaming interactivity? Check this video out- http://www.youtube.c...h?v=dWnZOseA3Lw So, just how much of your body get's used in the game? All of it? check here- Showing the true capability of this new technology for video gaming compared to the Nintendo Wii (i think MS is talkin ****) - http://www.youtube.c...h?v=vTtlM0v7iLs And then finally... the final video showing all sorts of different interactivity...

need to know if it's dual 2 or Dual 4 ohm. It's rated to handle 1000w musical peak so you will want a 750w-1000w amp.. but still need to know ohm configuration on your sub.

maybe try different strapping rca cables... That's the only thing different... From what i remember, use some basic cables, most high end cables tend to have problems sometimes.

I've must have been out of the loop for a while... Any of you guys heard about this new device by Microsoft? They are releasing it as a new console at the end of 2010 for a projected price of $499 or an addon for your current xbox360 system for approximately $200-$300... If you haven't heard about this.. i suggest searching for project natal.... the next gen of gaming. www.kickasskungfu.net presented it earlier than microsoft but they are out of the country. Microsoft has now brought it home to us US people. Project Natal is like the Wii but without any controllers and FAR FAR more advanced! You can bring objects with you in the game that support it and when fighting somebody... you better be fit because if you can't roundhouse or other crazy moves.. i don't know what to tell ya, lol. Project Natal, since i've yet to hear from Nintendo or Sony, may be what changes gaming to a whole new level.

whereas you may be right because i've never owned or used a mac, after doing enough research, i found the solution- CUDA technology + Toshiba's SpurEngine + my current quad core OC system. Installing an nVidia video card with CUDA support and a pci card with Spur'sEngine capability, encoding times increase by over 400-550%. It allows the video card, the pci decoding chip and the quad core processor to all tackle a video at once!

u can get the sundown 4500 cheaper than that right now

music should not be assumed is as dynamic as you claim it to be. It purely depends on how it's recorded. I have tons of music that are recorded at near full amplitude and others that are far off. I also have tons of custom made music i use for testing and bassrace purposes so music may be dynamic, but not as dynamic as what some may it is for everybody... it depends what you are listening too. Also, i looked at that chart just now, according to how the chart increases amperage with shorter distances, there's no way a single 1/0 cable could carry 1000A.. you'd be lucky to get 500A out of it. That means either massive voltage drop or fire... and this is going by that chart. Also, that stetsom amp doesn't run on 18v either so everybody would have a problem playing it like that.

correct me if i'm wrong here but would the 14,000w stetsom amp not be able to produce no where near that power for daily use? For a single power\ground run, i can't see it doin it for daily without the wire melting... I'm surprised they chose that route for just burping as well. I don't know how many amps a 1/0 cable can take for just a few ft distance but most manufacturers decide to go with dual power\ground where operating amps close to or over 5kw.

that's to get your attention on the thread, lol. I only view this device as a step-up transformer and isolator, nothing else. That's all i ever described it to be regardless that they say it's a cap as well. Also, it is the only step-up transformer i know of for the 12v market capable of outputting in excess of 100A at virtually any voltage between 14-20v for it's price. Prove me wrong show me another one capable of doing this for less money that can also isolate 2 electrical systems from each other.

no, hehe, ok now all three of us are gettin confused here... M5, i was talkin to tirefryr because i didnt want to use a more "common" type anology because different solutions could be used so i had to go crazy with the anology. I wasn't referring to you. But again, (///M5), i've never talked about how to use them as a capacitor and neither did Hlabs. It was purely for the step-up transformer portion of it's description.

if the comparison is resulting from available box size, only the woofers in the proper box will excel.

i hope u didnt think that was a real anology

oh, i hope you aren't viewing these as capacitors! Yes they call them fluxcaps and yes, even the description of them state that one of the features of them is a capacitor but the research i was doing had absolutely nothing to do with capacitors in what you are referring to. I actually did standard 12\14v cap research after i was researching this and came across an article that proved how much capacitance one would need to actually gain something by using caps... The discharge states that is you have a 50farad cap, that if you discharge 50A of current for 1 second, the cap will drop 1 volt. So 100A would be 2 volts for 1 second and so on.. For somebody like me who only has a 0.8v drop on my burp note for spl competition, i would need about 750Farad of caps just to roughly equal my 0.8v drop for 3 full seconds... 750farad? vs 2 batteries... hmm... i think we all know the better choice here. This is another example of when to use flux caps- Now keep in mind that my focus is for competition. Because it takes a lot of power for our ears to hear an increase of power, using fluxcaps to increase the power for daily driving as the primary purpose is a waste of money.. Now, here is another example to use flux in competiiton- Let's say that you don't want the 18v step up install, you just want standard 14v so you don't have to mess with all these different batteries. Well, for example sake, let's say you own a small 4 cylinder car and that car has 100,000w worth of amps in it. That little car could not possibly have enough alternators to run that setup so it would do it with the vehicle off of course. Let's say the burp note is pulling 3,000A of current. Well, lol, let's say we have 3,000aH worth of battery in the vehicle. (wow, this i'd like to see, ) When the burp starts, the battery bank will more than likely suffer a 1v drop after a couple seconds so the amps would only see about 12-12.2v from a float of 13-13.2v... So again, the batts are only seein right at around 12v flat... If we wanted the batts to see 14.7v.. we would have to have enough alts to run it.... OR enough fluxcaps and 12v batts to do the conversion. For this example, at 3,000A draw, (100A fluxcaps have a 150A quick discharge for them so...) you would need a minimum of 20 100A fluxcaps and about 4,000aH (guessing) worth of 12v batts. Point - sticking with 12v system- if you have the room to fill an area full of batts, WAY more than what you need but need higher voltage when car is off or not enough alternator to keep up... use those extra batteries that you can fit in the vehicle for the fluxcaps to up the voltage so u get more power to the amps.

well, if this info still isn't satisfying, you can always email them or call them.website is www.hlabs.comthey told me that their car audio market is really more geared toward the military these days.sundownz also owns a couple. you can inquire some info from him too.

i thought line drivers were proven not to help in competition? If they do then i'll buy one..

is 8hz like a strict note not to go below or just a personal preference? from what u say, i'd assume that 10hz is pretty important, hehe, so i'll be sure to keep that in mind.

I'm about to step in and start editing some more music for custom purposes for car audio and want to know what frequency range i should focus on? This project will mainly be focused on older 70s-80s rock that had no bass hardly. I want to bring out frequencies that just didn't audibly exist before. I've done this before a while back and some people have the custom 16 min Pink floyd track i did but now i want to do this... So, what frequency to you is LOWWWWwwww? i can bring it out all the way to 1hz but there comes a point to where it's too low so i need to know how low is too low really. Anyone who listens to these tracks can mainly only benefit from it from a setup where the subsonic is shut off or your setup is just plain tuned low already... below 30hz that is. Right now i'm focusing on the 9-24hz range right now on this one pink floyd song to give you an idea.
